Repository database: The database contains all configuration data for the site.

Certificates for the Qlik Sense services: The certificates are used to encrypt the traffic between the services and the users. Make sure to backup the certificates in order not to lose any encrypted data (for example, passwords for data connections).

Log data

Application data: The data models in the Qlik Sense apps.

Any content that supports the apps (for example, QVD files)

When performing the procedure below you must log in using an account that had the Root Admin role when the site was backed up. If you log in using a local admin account and the machine name is different, your permissions will not follow through.

Qlik Sense Proxy Service (QPS), Qlik Sense Engine Service (QES), Qlik Sense Scheduler Service (QSS), and Qlik Sense Printing Service (QPR) in no specific order

The order is important because the QRS is dependent on the QRD and the rest of the services are dependent on the QRS.

Restoring a Qlik Sense site to a machine with a different hostname

You can restore a Qlik Sense site to a machine with a host name that is different from the site that you backed up. However, if the machine is a central node in a multi-node site, you need to slightly adapt the procedure as follows:

All rim nodes need to be reset, that is, you need to remove them and then add them again.

Run repository.exe -bootstrap -standalone -restorehostname from an elevated command prompt to start the Qlik Sense Repository Service (QRS). When QRS is up and running, restart the QRS without -restorehostname. See: Services

Примечание: The parameter '-standalone' means that Repository runs as a normal executable process (as opposed to running as a service, and registering in Windows Service Manager).

When restoring your site, you must log in using an account that had the Root Admin role when the site was backed up. If you log in using a local admin account and the machine name is different, your permissions will not follow through.

Backing up the current server

Perform the following steps on the server machine that you want to restore to a different server.

Create a local folder called Backup or something similar to store the files you want to restore later. For example: C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Backup.

In Qlik Management Console, go to the Certificates section and export new certificates using the FQDN of the new server. Ensure tht you include the private key and the certificates must be in the Windows format.

Backup your certificates using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). For detailed steps, see Backing up certificates. On your original server, export the following certificates from the QMC to your Backup folder. Ensure that you export the private key.

client

root

server

On the service cluster, open the your backup location QMC, Cluster Settings, copy the full UNC path of the QlikShare (the full path name including back slashes), for example \\<computer_name>\QlikShare

When the command has completed successfully check for erros in the logs and the following message is displayed:

Bootstrap mode has terminated. Press ENTER to exit..

Start the Qlik Sense services. If the services are started manually, start them in the following order:

Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher

Qlik Logging Service

Qlik Sense Repository Service

Qlik Sense Proxy Service

Qlik Sense Engine Service

Qlik Sense Scheduler Service

Qlik Sense Printing Service

Try to access the QMC or the Hub to verify that the migration has been successful. Also, from the Qlik Management Console reload the monitoring apps to verify that your certificates have been installed correctly.
